1. We do not even know if this lionesses was in eostrus. As far as I remember Torchwood was just seen in company with her, not mating.
2. I could have been just full coincidance - Torchwwod could have been in right place and right time to encounter that female while Birmingham was away.

Also theory of that BIrmingham male could be less agressive because he used to be submissive towards Ross males doesn't make any sense to me. Also worth pointing out that Mlovathi Mapogo, for many embodiment of agressive male lions probally very bullied a lot through their nomadic life due to be by far the youngest within a coalition. It doesn't make sense for me that being bullied by Ross males could influence Birmingham male to be less agressive and confident.

I haven't seen BYM and TYM interacting with each other, so I don't know who is the dominant. Moreover, it is too early to say who's the dominant male because things will change everyday. However, bullying a person or animal will definitely impact their behaviors. Therefore, with the injured leg BYM suffered, for sure it affected somehow his behavior for good or bad. Greetings! Reply
